Chi Bristol

INCREDIBLE food. As a group we tried around 10 dishes and every single one was delicious, great portion sizes and beautifully presented. Staff were super friendly. Overall a really great experience!

As it has only recently opened, it was fairly quiet. However, it slowly filled. My first impression is that it's definitely aesthetically pleasing! Good for anyone after cute pics with the girls/ or the gram, or a date night. Food also looked great, and it definitely exceeded all my expectations. Flavours and portion sizes were spot on. The waitress recommended a dish, which was unfortunately not to my liking, but that's my opinion. Service was good. We were asked several times if we needed anything or if the food was to our liking. As it was my friends birthday, the owner (I believe) arranged for a slice of cheesecake to be brought out while singing happy birthday, which was extremely kind of her. I definitely recommend checking it out. It's a great new addition to gloucester Road!

The restaurant had a very clean and pleasant environment, which made a great first impression. We ordered the Small Plate Platter and really enjoyed it, as it was just the right size for four of us to share. The Duck Pancakes were nicely presented, though the duck itself was a touch on the dry side. Since the basket was placed directly on top of the pancakes, some of the juices and oil dripped down, leaving the pancakes a little wetter and greasier than we would have expected. We also tried the Katsu Curry, which was decent, though the chicken could have been more tender. The Pad Thai was fine, but the chicken pieces felt a bit large, which may have affected the texture. For dessert, we had the Basque Cheesecake. It was enjoyable, though quite different from the Basque cheesecakes I’ve had elsewhere, more like a standard cheesecake. That said, the yuzu curd and vanilla ice cream on the side were a lovely touch. Service was enthusiastic and friendly, though at times a little slow. Overall, it was a good experience.

My friend and I went here during the opening weekend for lunch. Their chicken and beef is halal, sadly the sushi has mirin. It's quite spacious and really pretty inside. We got: ▪️Korean Fried Chicken - this was delicious, the portion size was hearty, crispy chicken pieces coated in the sweet and sticky gochujang glaze. Flavourwise it was banging and not too spicy but it had a good kick to it. ▪️Vegetable Gyōza - these were nice and crunchy with a decent filling. Cooked well and honey soy sriracha sauce was great. ▪️Korean BBQ Beef Short Rib - omg this was superb! The beef was so tender and soft. The BBQ sauce wasn't too sweet, it was perfectly balanced. ▪️Chicken Satay - my friend got this and I tried some. It was incredible, the satay sauce was super fresh and you could tell it was made in house. It was so decadent with the peanut and it had a hint of lime in there too. ▪️Vegetable Nasi Goreng - this fried rice dish was so tasty! We shared this was had it as the side to our grilled meats. Food was amazing and staff were super friendly. Definitely would recommend it.

We tried this restaurant last night and loved their squid, Korean fried chicken and beef ramen. The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the sushi because the rice was overly cooked so it was hard and the rice to filling ratio was around 8:2. The service was really good
